He's still quite funny. One of my favorite quotes from Ozzie was after a brutal double header in August against the Red Sox in 2007, we were just laughed out of the park and Ozzie's first comment in the post game press conference "Well...there's six hours of my life I'll never have back."

I know there are a lot of people who hate Ozzie, but I love him and still think he's a good manager.

That is so cold. It'll be even colder in Cleveland when LeBron returns as a Chicago Bull in the winter with Chris Bosh and Phil Jackson.

I saw this on CSN earlier and though it sounds like something Ozzie might do, I have a difficult time believing it is true.

I'm surprised that he did sign it since his English on FB and Tweets is so choppy / incorrect. But hey, it's awfully clever! :cool:

LMAO! I saw him signing a ball last night during the game and I was sitting there thinking "Why would he be signing autographs during the game?"

On The Score yesterday (during Grobber's show), a Cub fan called in and said Ozzie lacked class because he wrote "Cleveland sucks" on a ball and gave it to a kid. The caller (who kept calling Ozzie "Ozzie Smith") was screaming and yelling about how classless Ozzie "Smith" is.....:rolleyes:

I wish Guillen in his playing plays was Ozzie Smith

This is hilarious. Ozzie still got it.

I wouldn't have done it. C'mon, it's a kid. Although this doesn't come close to the one where Billy Martin was approached for an autograph by a kid with his precious collection of baseball cards in his hand, Billy's card on top. Billy whacked the kid's hand so that the cards went all over the place and kept walking. What a guy.

So does Guillen.

I'll be glad when he's being 'clever' somewhere else.

Ozzie is funny.

So are circus clowns.

Are circus clowns good baseball strategists or teachers?

I saw the whole thing go down on MLB network. They thought it was hilarious.

Then, later in the game, they showed Ozzie in the dugout on the leather recliner. In itself, that is not very interesting. However, Pleasac/Millar & company noted that the only way to get that chair down from the locker room at the Jake is to drag it down (or up) a couple flights of stairs. I can picture Ozzie grabbing the clubhouse kid and asking him to go get his chair.

I know most people are probably thinking, "Ozzie, your team stinks. Quit being a clown and manage." But, you can't blame Ozzie for TCQ below the mendoza line, you can't blame Ozzie for Peavy being all bark and no bite, you can't blame Ozzie for Jenks being over 300 pounds and worthless, and you can't blame Ozzie for not having a major league designated hitter on his roster. So, if the team is going to stink, at least we have Ozzie to keep us entertained.

Yes you can blame Ozzie for that one. How many times did he not say that he did NOT want a full time DH. Ozzie has the style of team he wanted.
